Malaysia's Petronas to Build Natural-Gas Plant in British Columbia
By Chester Dawson
CALGARY--Malaysia's state-owned energy company Thursday said it would build a large-scale natural-gas plant on Canada's Pacific coast, paving the way for the export of cheap North American gas to high-demand markets in Asia.
The 36 billion-Canadian-dollar (US$29.3 billion) project, known as Pacific NorthWest LNG, marks Canada's emergence as a hub for exporting surplus North American natural gas to Asia.
Petroliam Nasional Bhd., or Petronas, is the lead sponsor of the project, along with minority partners China Petroleum & Chemical Corp., Japan Petroleum Exploration Co., Indian Oil Corp. and Brunei National Petroleum Co. Petronas has said it wants to start up commercial operations in 2019.
